OK guys. With the Regular Season over the focus for coaching staves around the country turns to recruiting. There’s going to be rumors, visits, secret visits, accusations, pump fakes, and outright lies all over the place from here until National Signing Day. Isn’t recruiting fun?!

And, because I’m nice and I want you to be prepared for what’s to come, here’s your handy dandy primer for the next 2 months.

Welcome to Silly Season

Before you go any further, I want to plug my summer feature The Recruiting Rules. It’s a great resource for recruiting fans of all kinds — those who only check it at a signing day, or those who live and breathe recruiting 24/7/365 — and has a wealth of great information and commentary from myself and an amazing group of recruiting analysts with more than 100 combined years of experience in and around the wonderful world of recruiting.
